Back into biking, after a 20 year hiatus..! Thought this would be a good starter bike. As not sure I'm down with all the 'naked' stuff currently. Lets see how this goes..? Like the bike and the stability (once you get above 5mph), just wish it wasn't quite so heavy to move around the garage. Shifted this on in the end, as simply didn't 'gel' with it. Found it heavy to move around, low speed stability wasn't confidence inspiring for me. Jack of all trades, maybe, but in my eyes master of none. To heavy for spirited road use, to slow to change direction. Clip-ons to low and pegs to high to comfortable to cruise around on. Engine had 'something', but maybe not for me, as too much engine braking. Clutch too heavy for commuting use. Brakes were excellent though. Shame as it was a 'minter', just never really want to spend more than 45 mins on it. I would shudder! at the thought of a 50 mile+ ride.!
